That question is a very broad one. Blades like the Khopesh and Falcata have forward curving blades.
Swords like the Sabre and the Scimitar are back-curving.
Some swords like the Katana are lightly curved, whereas a Scimitar for example would usually have a more severe curvature.

∙ 10y agoThere are a lot of different types of curved swords around the world. One of the most famous would be the Japanese Samurai sword, or katana. But there are also falchions, grosse messers, a large variety of sabers, cutlasses, scimitars, chinese broadswords (also known as Dao), kukri's, falcata's, and kopis's. Those are the main ones I can think of off the top of my head.
